But if the ox was wont to push with his horn yesterday, and the day before, and they warned his master, and he did not shut him up, and he shall kill a man or a woman: then the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
וְאִ֡ם שׁוֹר֩ נַגָּ֨ח ה֜וּא מִתְּמֹ֣ל שִׁלְשֹׁ֗ם וְהוּעַ֤ד בִּבְעָלָיו֙ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמְרֶ֔נּוּ וְהֵמִ֥ית אִ֖ישׁ א֣וֹ אִשָּׁ֑ה הַשּׁוֹר֙ יִסָּקֵ֔ל וְגַם־בְּעָלָ֖יו יוּמָֽת׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
Examining verses 28 and 29 together reveals that the principle is established: if a person, through carelessness, brings about the death of another, he must forfeit his own life in response to the life taken. However, the law stipulates that a ransom may be accepted in such circumstances. At the heart of this precept is a profound respect for human life, which serves as the essential foundation woven throughout the entirety of Israel's legislation.
